Hi! First I want to thank you for this great lessons, I'm taking my first steps in chicken picking, I'm really into it. I'm a little confused about the picking part, when moving up between strings. Do you use alternate picking with the pick along with middle finger? Thanks again! great job!
@augustolp1 From Matt -- Thanks for the kind words and I'm glad to hear your enjoying the lessons!
Yes I am alternating pick and finger in that lick for lesson 2. My basic rule with open string runs is pick on the fatter string and 2nd finger on the thinner string. For example if you are using the pick on the B string, use the 2nd finger on the high E string.
@Richeray Thanks a lot for you reply! I also sent an email thru your website, asking for a Clinic on DVD and for the Twang CD. I'm from Argentina, so I was asking for shipping, etc. Thanks again!!!
@augustolp1 - I'm guessing you sent it thru Matt's website, and I'm sure he'll get back to you. He is also going to be offering lessons via Skype in the near future.
Does Matt only use the pick and the second finger? Or does he use the second and third fingers to chicken pick?

@gretschguy58 from Matt - "I use the pick, first and second finger in the right hand."

Hope that answers your question.
